i teach part time in the evenings, so your pup gets my mornings and afternoons all to themselves. we can start the day with a little walk, play break or sniff adventure, and wind down later with chill hangouts once class is done.

Information Elina R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that i can account for. I have many years of experience so I’ll definitely more than happy to adjust for your furry babies <3

A typical day

i don’t just throw a ball and call it a day. i love giving pups mental enrichment. hide and seek, toy rotations, little training games, anything to spark their curiosity. if your dog is teething, anxious, or just goofy, i’ve got a stash of toys, chewies and cozy spots to help them feel like home

Pets

a happy safe & healthy stay for dog

Pet care experience

i grew up with pets, so taking care of dogs is basically second nature. when your pup stays with me, they get a calm home, lots of attention, and plenty of playtime. i work part time from home and teach in the evenings, so i’m around most of the day for walks, potty breaks, and keeping them company. every dog has their own routine and quirks. just tell me what they need and i’ll follow it. i’m flexible with schedules, feeding, meds, and whatever helps your dog feel comfortable. can’t wait to meet your furry little one!

Atrocious. She doesn’t have the common sense to close doors - came home and the entire house was destroyed because clearly she hasn’t been watching the dogs at all. All doors open. Bean bag destroyed. Planters erupted. Would not hire this young lady. She has a lot of growing to do.

Elina was fantastic. On short notice over the holidays, she coordinated picking up our dogs from a boarding facility, brought them home, and also house-sat. It was clear the dogs were extremely well cared for. They went on plenty of walks and were happy and relaxed. The house was left in perfect condition. Highly recommend.

Didnt show up after she said she was on the way. I waited and waited .She said she went to the wrong address, but for some reason didn't bother to come to right address and walk the dogs . Eventhough, She said she would come to the right address she never showed up.
